Rajesh revealed that while they were shooting in Jaisalmer, during a shift break, a few people were sitting around — Dimple Kapadia included. Everyone started talking about her films, her iconic songs, her performances — it was all about her. But then, Dimple Kapadia did something unexpected. After a few minutes, she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, enough about me… can I get to know you all now?"
That simple question changed the tone of the conversation completely. For Rajesh Kumar, that's when the real conversation started. According to him, the general notion is to shower praise on a successful person one meets and then move on, and the other person just politely expresses gratitude. He reflected on how rare it is to have genuine human interactions in the fast-paced world of film sets. He mentioned how actors spend 12 hours a day working together, but do not even know each other's stories. But his moment with Dimple Kapadia continues to remind him of how much actors miss out in their work environment if they are not making efforts to connect.

Saiyyara, which became the biggest opener in the history of Hindi cinema, continued to perform strongly at the box office in its second week as well. The film earned significantly during its second weekend. According to a report by Sacnilk, Saiyyara collected Rs 31.18 crore at the box office on its second Sunday alone. This is an early estimate, and the final figure may vary slightly once all data is compiled. In its second week, Saiyaara shattered records with a total collection of around Rs 75 crore, bringing the domestic box office total of Mohit Suri's film to Rs 247.25 crore. The film's worldwide collection has crossed Rs 370 crore, with Rs 120 crore earned in the second week alone. How did Ahaan Pandey break Shah Rukh Khan's record? As soon as Saiyaara entered the Rs 200 crore club at the domestic box office, it broke the records of Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 , Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5, and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par. But now, Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda's film has even surpassed the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan. This film by the newcomers has broken the record of one of KSRK's blockbuster romantic hits. Saiyaara overtakes Chennai Express Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's 2013 film Chennai Express was a blockbuster. The film directed by Rohit Shetty had recorded a collection of Rs 227 crore at the box office over its weeks-long run, but Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda's film has now broken this record. Of course, reaching that figure nearly 12 years ago was a significant achievement, but Saiyaara is also expected to post a considerably higher total by the end of its run.
